JVC SKIPPER2008-11-16
THE RADIO WORKS GREAT UNTIL YOU HIT THE TRAILS , IT SKIPS SO BADD ON THE SLIDDEST BUMP( OH YEH I PUT IT IN A JEEP WRANGLER). I STILL CANT FIGURE OUT THIS HD CRAP THAT PART OF THE RADIO SUCKS. THE EQ IS COOL WHEN YOU GET IT SET . I WOULD BUY ANOTHER JVC MAYBE THE UPGRADED VERSION.
Nice HD deck2008-09-24
I pruchased this deck to replace a worn out cd player in my car. I really enjoy the clarity of the HD radio, but I do live around a city where I here HD signals are more readily available. I have not taken it into rural areas where I hear that signals can be hard to acquire. The cd clarity is as good as I need it, but I am not a really a good judge of quality sound. I just want a player that is clear and easy to use. I also like the optional ipod adapter which makes playinghte ipod in the car easy, and allows me to keep the ipod in the glove away from prying eyes. The only feature that I have not found useful yet is the remote. In my car the radio is not so far away as to necessitate a remote.
Great Radio2008-08-08
Standard installation, standard radio controls, figured it out before I had a chance to read the owner's manual.
It'a amazing to hear the difference HD makes. With this radio you tune in your station, initially it picks it up in Standard Definition (SD), if it has High Definition (HD) content a little HD icon pops up. It then switches to HD. If the station has alternate programming pressing "Up" on the selector knob will go to the next channel that the station broadcasts, HD-1, HD-2, and so on. HD stations also broadcast their call letters so the radio will display the station as "KWMU - 90.7".
This really a revolution in radio, I'm late to join the revolution, but I'm sold on the technology.
Also, the CD player works great.
Please review your local stations and wikipedia before buying to see if the technology is right for your needs and location.
Terrible AM reception2008-05-23
If you are a talk radio person like myself this radio's AM reception stinks so bad it's ridiculous.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure where a person can find an honest review of car radio AM reception capabilities.

Another issue with this radio is that it is terribly underpowered. Even when tuned in on a strong HD radio station I cannot turn up the volume high enough to get the sound adequately up and over the noise of the vehicle.

Turn the volume up much beyond the 30 level (the digital level goes from 1 to 50) and the sound becomes so distorted you cannot understand it.

I have some really awesome car radios, e.g., I have a 10 year old Sony CDX-4160 which blows this radio away on the AM stations, sitting in the same driveway.

Avoid this radio if you want AM reception.
I would have never bought it again for my second car if it was not so great!2008-04-20
It is very user friendly, sounds very well and is the less expensive one with HD radio built in (will tell you singer name and song title while you listen the radio + much better audio quality). Remote control is included and with some more money you can make it play all kind of mp3 player.+++

Camera basics: shutter-speed, aperture and ISO
In this article, I’ll introduce you to the basic elements that you can use to control exposure in your shooting. If you have a digital SLR, there will be a way to set all of these controls on your camera, but since they differ between manufacturers and models, you’ll need to refer to your camera’s manual to find out exactly how to change them. All cameras, whether an ancient film camera, or a more modern digital, work in pretty much the same way. Photographs are taken by letting light fall onto a light-sensitive medium, which records the image. Traditionally, this has been film, but more recently, it tends to be a digital sensor. The more light that falls onto the film or sensor, the lighter the image. Put simply, a camera consists of a light-tight box that stores a light-sensitive device (either a film or a digital sensor), a lens that magnifies and focuses the image onto that light-sensitive device through a hole in the box (called the aperture) , and a shutter that opens ...
Printer Buying Guide
What kind of printer is best for me? Choosing the right printer can be a daunting task. There are several different types of printing technology to choose from, each suited for different needs. Printers come in all shapes and sizes, from tiny travel companions to workgroup workhorses; some are geared toward photographers, others are for multitaskers. And the many specifications for resolution and speed can be misleading. As a rule of thumb, inkjet printers are a must for long-lasting photos, while laser printers are best to produce speedy text documents. User types: Home user | Budding novelist | Digital photographer | Entrepreneur | Corporate cog | Frequent flier Home user  The home user demands a lot from a printer. The device must tackle everything from a book report to a newsletter to the occasional snapshot--all without breaking the budget. This is why for most home users, the best choice is a versatile and affordable printer, such as a small-office/home-office color ...
